Description
At the start of the Tudor period, in 1485, Tudor Britain had very little wealth or power beyond its borders. By the end of the period, in 1603, the Tudors had greatly increased their wealth and were beginning to compete with powerful European states around the world.
This marked the beginning of what would become one of the most powerful empires in the world, with ongoing and difficult legacies that still affect us today.
